A Galician Syntactic Corpus with Application to Intonation Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper will present the design of a Galician syntactic corpus with application to intonation modeling. Our paper paid attention to phonetics and syntactic phenomena to achieve a comparison beetwen its appearances. A corpus of around 3000 sentences was designed with variation in the syntactic structure and the number of accent groups, and recorded by a professional speaker to study the influence on the prosodic structure.

Towards an intonation module for a portuguese TTS system
In this paper, a correlation between the linguistic structure of the written text and the real intonation behavior of the read speech in European Portuguese language (EP) is presented. It is our belief that intonation behavior in EP can be strongly predicted from two main coordinates: the syntactic structure of the sentence and its pragmatic communicative function, in one way, combined with the...
متن کاملA hierarchical intonation model for synthesising F0 contours in galician language
In this contribution we propose a hierarchical intonation model for synthesising f0 contours with application to text-to-speech synthesis in Galician language. This model makes use of the implicit knowledge that resides in a database of natural f0 contours obtained from a read corpus. The novelty of this method lies on the way the f0 contour is generated. First, no phonological description in t...
متن کاملEvaluating Two Different Methods for the Task of Extracting Bilingual Lexicons from Comparable Corpora
In this paper, two different approaches to extract bilingual lexicons from comparable corpora are evaluated and compared. One uses syntactic contexts, and the other windows of tagged words. On a Spanish-Galician comparable corpus of 2× 10 million words, syntactic contexts produce significantly better results for both frequent and less frequent words.
متن کاملA proposal to quantitatively select the right intonation unit in data-driven intonation modeling
In this work, we provide a procedure for the systematic evaluation of the quantitative impact of the selection of the basic intonation unit for data-driven intonation modeling. Taking advantage of the corpus based modeling technique previously developed, we show how the number of prosodic features selected and the kind of basic unit determines the final prediction RMSE of the synthesized F0 pro...
متن کاملComputerized chironomy: evaluation of hand-controlled intonation reiteration
Chironomy means in this paper of intonation modeling in terms of hand movements. An experiment in hand-controlled intonation reiteration is described. A system for real-time intonation modification driven by a graphic tablet is presented. This system is used for reiterating a speech corpus (sentences of 1 to 9 syllables, natural and reiterant speech). The subjects also produced vocal imitation ...
